Abstract
A method of increasing the wear resistance of a vulcanized elastomeric body having a surface region exposed to load, for instance a tire, cone or V-belt, conveyor belt, hose, resilient element, floor covering or the like, by changing its tensile stress state, wherein the elastomeric body is at least partially treated, including the surface region exposed to load, with a swelling agent constituting a medium which is soluble in the elastomer.
